I am seeking panelists for a panel on "Historicizing the Environmental Apocalypse: Historians and Climate Change" for the AHA's 2013 conference in New Orleans. In keeping with the theme of Lives, Places, Stories, it will focus on the question of how historians tell the story of climate change.

Potential topics include
 Histories of climate change awareness and denial (in a specific nation or region, or cross-cultural comparisons)
 Historical fiction
 Histories of science
 Environmental history
 Scandals
 Work that illuminates a particular aspect of climate change in a specific location
 Connections between climate change and issues of race, gender and class
 Broader historiographical work on this issue

Please send a 250-word proposal and short CV to Matthew Schneider-Mayerson at schne641@umn.edu by January 15, 2012.
